Trent & Dove Housing has secured £50 million in new funding to accelerate its development and improvement plans across Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Leicestershire.
The finance, arranged under the government’s Affordable Homes Guarantee Scheme (AHGS) and provided by Saltaire Housing, will fund the construction of around 200 additional affordable homes. It will also contribute to upgrading existing properties to meet higher living standards.
Legal advisers from Anthony Collins and financial consultants from Savills UK supported the deal. The transaction marks a continued push by housing associations to access competitive funding through the AHGS, a government-backed initiative managed by Venn to expand affordable housing supply while maintaining existing stock.
Trent & Dove’s investment programme forms part of a wider regional effort to address the shortage of affordable homes and modernise ageing housing portfolios. The funding is expected to support both new developments and essential improvement works, ensuring long-term resilience in local housing provision.
